Kornuth vs. Madel Round II
Just before the level up, Scott Mandel bet 8,850 into a large pot with a board reading 
. Chance Kornuth then moved all in for 12,225 total and Mandel made the call.
Kornuth: 
Mandel: 
Both players had held a straight, but Kornuth's was higher. However, Mandel had a flush draw and was no doubt seeking revenge from last year when Kornuth eliminated him in fifth place. Unfortunately for Madel, revenge would have to wait as the river blanked and Kornuth doubled to 25,000.
"I was down to 3,200 not too long ago," Kornuth explained to a friend on the rail.
